I absolutely think fast. SPAs are for applications; I'll take a few second hit up front in order to have an application that doesn't load entire new pages anytime I perform a single action.

Oculus Quest 2. It makes VR portable and accessible to normies, and allows you to connect to desktop if you so desire. Also, guns. I'd never shot a gun before this year, and now I own a bunch. They're tight. And an XSR700. Moved t

I'm not sure what you mean by recent, but I think the most interesting concept in UI/UX that I can think of off the top of my head is the OS-level back-button on Android. I love Apple laptops, but the OS-level back-button on Andro

My problem with graphql always comes down to permissions and performance. I feel like we went through the thought process of: okay, front ends are smart enough to ask for the data that they want, so why not just let them structure their own

There is a reason that the people with the most aggressive social policies tend to also be the least in favor of federalism/local politics, because of this exact problem: people will just leave. If your system makes life worse for a ce

I agree with you here, but I don't even think fascism is used interchangeably with authoritarianism. That would be a good start. Fascism has basically begun to mean "anything outside of the far left orthodoxy." People were ca

I think they were implying that when people advocate for censorship, they seem to be the ones that have a very secure concept on "the truth," when in reality there is no such thing. For example, there HAS been voter fraud uncovere

You said that I believe my problems come from incompetent peers, and not shitty management. I said that not only do I not believe my problems come from incompetent peers, but that I don't actually have any problems. And to the extent t

Which problems? Being paid well? Having a fun and interesting job? Have you ever worked a union job, did the union make shitty management suddenly disappear? Shitty management is often just swallowed up by the union itself. And I don't

That first metric is highly subjective. There is a growing movement of anti-natalists that believe that having children is immoral, because being born a human is worse than never having existed, and people can't consent to their existe

Wild animals also kill for sport, and rape, and steal, and eat their own babies. I do think it's important to understand that humans are animals, and that they are not uniquely immoral within the animal kingdom, but the fact that somet

So you're under the impression that, among the people who expressed concern at the widespread accusations of voter fraud, literally none of them will be satisfied by having had those allegations pursued and resolved under scrutiny?

Yes...that's what I said. I said the thing that makes it not a HIPAA violation is the fact that it's general data.

No, I wasn't saying that REST was the same as CQRS. I was replying to the comment that made the case that GraphQL was similar to CQRS because it separated reads from writes by having queries and mutations. I'm saying that REST als
